FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Thoracic Surgical Oncology at Charak Hospital, Lucknow.

Thoracic surgical oncology is the subspecialty of surgery focused on the diagnosis, staging, and surgical treatment of cancers in the chest — including the lungs, oesophagus, mediastinum, pleura, and chest wall.
Yes. For Stage I and Stage II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection (lobectomy) offers the best chance of cure, with 5-year survival rates of 70–90% for Stage I disease.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach where surgeons operate through small incisions using a camera. It results in less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to open thoracotomy.
Most patients are discharged within 5–7 days after VATS. Open thoracotomy may require 7–10 days. Full recovery to normal activity takes 4–8 weeks depending on the extent of surgery.
PET-CT scan, chest CT, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), bronchoscopy, EBUS/mediastinoscopy for staging, cardiac evaluation, and blood work are typically required for thoracic cancer surgery planning.
